I have a seemingly working patch for curl-config that basically makes it use
pkg-config internally (I had to patch libcurl.pc as well for the --configure
thing, but it's not that much of a problem). This means that the -dev packages
now depend on pkg-config as well, but pkg-config gets installed already anyway
because of libidn11-dev.
This could probably be implemented by using grep+sed on libcurl.pc directly,
but I don't think it would make any difference.

Yes, that would be my preferred solution as well. And yes, every compiler should
support this.
On the flip side this makes curl-config --cflags print:
-I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
I have no idea what happens when both i386 and amd64 versions of the package
gets installed though. This basically depends on what pkg-config does in this
situation.
Incidentally, pkg-config is not multi-arch ready yet (#726598) (and possibly
many of the -dev dependencies of libcurl -dev packages), so this whole exercise
wouldn't lead to any actual benefit until those are fixed as well.
Cheers
